Message Board Post:
My ideas: This man is pretty well documented once he in landed in New Netherland. It's
the records of his origin, identity and activities in Poland (Silesia) and the Seven
Provinces that are called into question. Sharon has been researching it and has come up
with a picture quite different from that which has been "copied from tree to
tree." The original picture of him was from secondary sources, anyway.
Reason indicates that he was a polyglot and was educated in financial dealings, so my idea
was that whatever he was in Europe, he was well educated and extremely intelligent.
Hopefully, more primary source documents will appear to answer our questions.
Sharon's newer website is at:

It's worth the study.
